Screen Walk with Andrea Muniáin
Andrea Muniáin, Digital Intercontinental Large Supermarkets, 2022
Andrea Muniáin’s work investigates the photogrammetric infrastructure and the relations among the actors involved in it. She explores photogrammetry as a set of technological practices that go beyond simple representation. Photogrammetry can generate digital models capable of modifying the physical terrain of fields as diverse as forestry, modern medicine or heritage preservation.
As part of this Screen Walk, we will collectively perform one of her latest pieces, Teletransporte post giro (post-spin teleportation), which builds on the key gesture of ‘turning’ to 3D-scan objects. Let's spin!
In Screen Walks, a series of live-streamed explorations of digital spaces, selected artists and researchers investigate artistic strategies taking place online. The project gives an insight into practices using the screen as a medium. From re-contextualising pictures found on online marketplaces and uncovering data brokers’ invisible circulation of images to analysing in-game photography and the social, political and economic implications of games – Screen Walks examines various approaches, offers a behind-the-scenes look at artists’ work and uncovers new, current and forgotten digital spaces. Screen Walks is a collaboration between The Photographers’ Gallery in London and Fotomuseum Winterthur.
The event is free and takes place on Zoom. Details on how to access the talk will be confirmed upon registration. REGISTER HERE.
Biography:
Andrea Muniáin is trained as an architect and researcher. Her practice focuses on the current relationships between digitality, corporeality and physicality. Currently, Andrea's work explores, beyond the digital representation of bodies, the political component of these same representations. Her research materialises in different practicable scenographies, through which she creates scenic narratives that intertwine the spaces of the physical and the virtual. Her installations reveal the implications of the applications of new digital technologies on subjectivities, bodies, spaces and identities.
Her work is linked to various national and international cultural institutions and universities. Her work has been exhibited at Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt; The Clemente Center, New York; La Casa Encendida, Madrid; Centro Cultural Matadero, Madrid; among others. And her work as a researcher has been part of the pedagogical process of universities such as University of Technology Sydney, IE University, ELISAVA, IED Madrid, or the School of Architecture of Alicante. She has recently benefited from a research grant from Fundación la Caixa, through which she addresses the biopolitical implications of three-dimensional scanning in human and non-human agents.
